Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ineven if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?
your thoughts please..

To others I look and act like a jw but inside my head and heart I am not.
So yes I suppose technically I am still a jw

by John Aquila inif you cant put two and two together, (the bachelorette having sex before marriage and the fact that we are living in the last days) then youre just going to lose your life.

I have noticed amongst the older jw's that they seem so prudish about sex that they almost can't bear to even acknowledge its existence. Its like they have classified it as demonic.
One elderly sis I know will only refer to sex as (whisper it -"it")
They seem to think shagging will bring about Armageddon all by itself

Is going clear worth watching?
by purrpurr ini've been trying to wade through all two and a half hours of going clear.
thus far it seems to not criticize scientology to much?.
thoughts?

Ok so I watched all of it. It took me about 20;mins to get into it.
Very worth worth, so many parallels to the WT
One thing I didn't understand was at the end they said that membership of ST isgoing down while its money goes up and a strategy of ST is that they are buying up loads of real estate. I don't understand this? Why are they buying up loads of real estate?
BTW I do see the parallels between them and the WT in that regard too, but I don't understand why they are doing it?

The two key components of religion... If removed?
by purrpurr ini'm reading a very interesting book right now " why our children will be atheist ".
i've just started the beginning of the book but it starts off with a history of how religion developed through the ages of mankind.. one of the points it make is that religion was invented for two reasons 1) to alay fears about death and the future 2) to create a bond between other people.. i found this thought to be very interesting and i wonder if the need for those two components were removed from mankind would religion disappear too?.

Return to Jehovah Photo
by naazira inthis picture is in the new publication from this year's convention, titled "return to jehovah".

Yes but what the WT never ever mentions is that the Shepard was not keeping sheep as pets but rather to take way their coat and eat!
Its a rather good analogy of what the GB want to do to the rank and file... Strip them of everything and then consume them!

How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?
by Zoos ini flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .
they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.
then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

End of mysteries. In Gilgamesh I believe there was even an ark of sorts that came to rest on the top of a mountain? -

I adore debunking the flood story!
Every ancient culture has some story of a flood probably because floods can happen and do happen everywhere. These days we know why this is but in the stone age or bronze age they made up stories to explain it.
For the sake ofargument though, if there really had been a global flood, which moved the continents/mountains/valleys to their current position ( as JW's claim) that would have destroyed every last land growing vegetation. The ground afterwards would be a wasteland of mud, sand and rocks. No seeds or bulbs would have survived and it is doubtful that the ground would be in a fit state to grow anything in.
In short there is no way that a olive tree could have survived for Noah's dove to pluck a sprig off!

plagiarism in the bible- what I have learnt part one
by purrpurr ini have recently been studying the myths and legends of other pre- jewish cultures.
such as babylonian, egyptian and greek.
these stories and beliefs are all pre dating the writing of the jewish torah and the new testament.

Magnum. I would recommend any books about the gods, myths and legends of the Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek and even Roman cultures. There are e books aplenty on the subject and most of them can be brought for pocket money prices.
In addition I recommend such forums and websites as thethinkingatheist.com
And also iron chariots.org
